QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

FOR SUPPORT OF

Ground Maintenance Services for the Redwood Road Work Center in Salt Lake City, Utah

Introduction

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is pursuant to the requirements listed in the statement of work. The contractor shall provide grounds maintenance services. This QASP sets forth the procedures and guide lines the Forest Service will use in ensuring the required performance standards or service levels are achieved by the contractor.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the QASP is to provide Government Surveillance oversight of the Contractor’s quality control efforts to assure that they are timely, effective, and are delivering the tasks specified in the contract. The QASP provides a means for evaluating whether the Contractor is meeting the performance standards/quality levels identified in the statement of work and the Contractor’s quality control plan, and to ensure that the government pays only for the level of services received. The required performance standards and/or quality levels are included in the statement of work and in Attachment E Performance Requirements Summary. If the Contractor meets the required service or performance level, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed on in the contract.

This QASP defines the roles and responsibilities of all members of the integrated project team (IPT), identifies the performance objectives, defines the methodologies used to monitor and evaluate the Contractor’s performance, describes quality assurance documentation requirements, and describes the analysis of quality assurance monitoring results.

The Contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The QASP is not intended to duplicate the Contractor’s Management Plan. The Government may provide the Contractor an information copy of the QASP as an Attachment to the solicitation to support the Contractor’s efforts in developing its plan for maintaining the levels of quality anticipated to be delivered under the terms of the contract.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Contracting Officer

The contracting officer (CO) is responsible for monitoring contract compliance, contract administration, cost control, and for resolving any differences between the observations documented by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and the Contractor. The CO will designate one full-time COR as the government authority for performance management. The number of additional representatives serving as technical inspectors depends on the complexity of the services measured, as well as the Contractor’s performance, and must be identified and designated by the CO.

The Contracting Officer’s Representative

The contracting officer’s representative (COR) is designated in writing by the CO to act ad his or her authorized representative to assist in administering a contract. COR limitations are contained in the written appointment letter.

The COR is responsible for technical administration of the project and ensures proper government surveillance of the Contractor’s performance. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual changes on the government’s behalf. Any changes that the Contractor deems may affect contract price, terms, or conditions shall be referred to the CO for action. The COR will have the responsibility for completing QA monitoring forms used to document the inspection and evaluation of the Contractor’s work performance.

Surveillance

In an effort to minimize the performance management burden, simplified surveillance methods shall be used by the Government to evaluate Contractor performance when appropriate. The primary methods of surveillance are:

1. Periodic Visual Inspection by the COR.

2. Customer Feedback-Customer feedback may be obtained either from the results of formal customer satisfaction surveys or from random customer complaints.

3. Customer complaints, to be considered valid, must set forth clearly and in writing the detailed nature of the complaint, must be signed and must be forwarded to the COR. The COR will accept those customer complaints and investigate using the Quality Assurance Checklist.

The COR shall maintain a summary log of all formally received customer complaints as well as a copy of each complaint in a file. The COR shall also keep the tabulated results of all customer satisfaction surveys on file and shall enter the summary results into the Quality Assurance Checklist.

Random Checks/ Inspections on Completion of Workload Tasks-Random checks will be conducted to ensure compliance with the intent of the Statement of Work and common commercial practices. The COR will conduct the random monitoring.

Customer Feedback

The contractor is expected to establish and maintain professional communication between its employees and customers. The primary objective of this communication is customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is the most significant external indicator of the success and effectiveness of all services provided and can be measured through customer complaints.

Customer feedback may also be obtained from the results of formal customer surveys.

DOCUMENTATION

Quality Assurance File

The COR will, in addition to providing documentation to the Contracting Officer, maintain a complete Quality Assurance File. The file will contain copies of all reports, evaluations, recommendations, and any actions related to the Government’s performance of the quality assurance function, including the originals of all Surveillance Activity Checklists. All such records will be retained for the life of this contract. The COR shall forward these records to the Contracting Officer monthly, unless otherwise requested.

Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS)

An evaluation may be submitted through CPARS at the end of each year of performance. This evaluation may be one determinant in exercising an option. The COR may address the quality of the service, schedule, cost control, customer service and other important areas. As this information may affect future source selections throughout the Government, the annual evaluation may be used as an additional performance oversight and communication tool along with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).

RESOLVING PERFORMANCE ISSUES

Actions to Remedy Unacceptable Performance

When performance is deemed unacceptable, the COR will so inform the Contractor’s on-site representative. Disputes should be referred to the CO for resolution. If any services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to re-perform the services to conform with contract requirements at no additional cost to the government. When sub-par performance cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

Seek monetary or any other negotiated form of consideration, as well as require the Contractor to take action to reasonably ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.

By separate contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service.

Issue cure notice.

Issue show cause.

Terminate the contract for government convenience.

Terminate the contract for cause.

Performance Resolution

The COR, CO, and Contractor should jointly formulate short term and long –term courses of action. Decisions regarding changes to metrics, thresholds, or service levels should be clearly documented. Changes to service levels, procedures, and metrics will be incorporated as a bilateral contract modification.

Standard

The Contractor may never have more than three (3) valid customer complaints. The Contracting Officer’s Representative shall notify the Contracting Officer for appropriate action in accordance with FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (JAN 2017), if any of the above service areas exceed two (2) customer complaints.

Procedures

The COR will inspect all work tasks, at least once monthly. The inspection is required to ensure Contractor compliance with the appropriate paragraphs of the SOW each time the service(s) is/are performed and record results of inspection, noting the date and time of the inspection. If an inspection indicates unacceptable performance, the COR will notify the Contractor’s Representative or Quality Control Inspector of the deficiencies. The Contractor shall be given 24 hours, after notification to correct the unacceptable performance.
